Take shitposts seriously and get into fights with strangers

she does look a lot like Paige from The Americans tho, i gemuinely thought it was her
So given Dr. Glaucomflecken is an opthalmologist, I’m at least 37.3% sure he meant her eyeglass prescription in diopters. Isn’t that right, Johnathan?
My misogynistic brain: she’s not that bad looking.
Hi, Feddit admin here. I would like to apologize for B-TR3E’s behavior and have given them a temporary instance ban for their misbehavior not only here but on other comms as well.
Their misbehavior was brought to my attention and it was enough to take action since we expect our users to behave regardless of which instance they are on (at least when it comes to common courtesy).
Aw man I always miss the drama
The comment is still here tho
EDIT: And it’s the most downvoted comment I’ve seen on lemmy
And will probably remain as such until spez creates an account here.
This interaction truly tickled me in a way that I had to comment lol, even if it’s not furthering the convo. Great post!
It truly is!
I’m putting on my needs context hat and standing next to the needs context sign.
The doctor is saying what her likely rx is, the responder i think assumes hes talking about her attractiveness out of 10, or is just being a snarky dick.
Comment refers to the girl’s eyeglass prescription, not a ranking of her attractiveness.
Based on the distortion visible in her glasses, her prescription is approximately -1.00 to -1.50 diopters. Severely nearsighted prescriptions would cause the wearer to appear to have much smaller eyes; farsighted prescription would cause the eyes to appear larger.
Might depend on the material. I have -3.5dpt on both sides and my glasses have half the width and glare. Or are those some random units again?
It’s measuring in Imperial Corrective Units (ICU).
Let me guess… It counts how many visits to the ICU it took to get such bad eye sight?
Going for “I see you” with a plausible but bullshit unit name but yours works too. Maybe they keep getting into accidents and landing in the ICU because of poor eyesight.
Aaah… So ist not the original prescription, rather the hit count. Like snipers carve lines in their rifle.
Now it all comes together!
I assumed he’d estimated it based on how distorted the face appears behind the glasses. I do that all the time.
At this angle it’s hard for me to do that, since I usually use the edges of the face to estimate it. negative glasses pull the line inwards, positive outwards. I can reliably tell when someone is wearing fake glasses (0 strength) for example, and probably estimate strength within 30% of the actual value.
If the image was higher res maybe I could estimate this case too. Or this professional optometrist is just a lot better at it than I am.
Strong negative glasses: (Note the faces contours in the glasses appearing well inside the faces contours around the glassed)
Fake glasses:
Positive glasses:
PS: Searching for generic terms yields 100% fake glasses, so I took a specific person I remember having strong glasses for myopia.
This is so cool. Thank you for sharing how to do that.

This is a screenshot of a photo, but you can still see the left side offset if you zoom in. The original photo likely has much better quality to see it with.
Just looked in the mirror… Checks out! :)
Thanks for the explanation. And yeah, on the op picture you can’t see any of that clearly, so he needs to have serious practice for that statement.
I’m sure Jonathan was able to provide the exact prescription at a glance.
She’s pretty normal. The glasses are ugly af.
Bruh you leave my funny YouTube doctor alone!! 😡
Damn, it took me a while, haha 😂
They obviously don’t wear glasses.
That’s also Dr. Glaucomflecken a semi-famous optometrist.
It took me a while to get the joke. I was just like, yeah that’s probably close to her prescription.
He should have had his scribe write the joke
Ophthalmologist

I’m not sure what he can find to be optimistic about in this economy.
I think you’ve confused his job. The study of birds is a very interesting field of study.
No, you’re thinking of an ornithologist. An opthalmologist is someone who practices dark arts.
That’s an occultist.
An opthalmologist is an appointed official who investigates complaints by taxpayers against government departments.
You’re thinking of an ombudsman. An ophthalmologist is a grappling submission that uses your legs and hips to hyperextend an opponent’s shoulder joint.
I think you’ll find he’s a cancer specialist, actually.
I think you’ve confused his job. The study of fields is very interesting for birds.
Knock knock, Hi. That’s internet famous to you, sir!
You might have phrased this a lot better by keeping your stupid mouth shut. Take that as general advice.
I’m so confused, what? Are you joking or did you not get the joke in tbe meme?
Well, it took me a while…
fair to say you can see clearly now?
Ohhh fair enough haha, it’s not a super obvious one
Just FYI, they’re indicating the glasses prescription in diopters. A -1.5 means minor correction to myopia by 1.5 diopters. Someone took the -1 and -1.5 as a hotness scale, but the guy is a sort of famous optometrist and was commenting on the lens correction factor, not hotness.
Wearing -6.5 and -6 myself as well as a cat on my shoulder that keeps waving it’s tail before my eyes and considering that it’s almost 3am here, you might excuse that the joke hit in here with some delay…
“I’m too tired to get the joke but I can still make an incredibly aggressive post attacking a stranger on the internet”
Maybe someone else should be keeping their mouth shut…
If you, or anyone else in the lynchmob here had intellect enough to get a joke I might find the time to give you a seriously aggressive reply. But as things are, I don’t think you’re worth my time.
-6? Don’t be so hard on yourself
I’m sure the cat helps though.
-6.5 tbh. Asshole.
No excuse for being this much of a jerk though.
No excuse intended.
I don’t think so. A little slow, occasionally, maybe.
My understanding is that the Dr. was referring to her glasses prescription, but the numbers he provided were misinterpreted as some sort of rating on her appearance (or perhaps basketball performance).
He didn’t intend to cause that confusion, which is why he acknowledged that his choice of wording was not ideal. I hope that clears things up.
You’re definitely a -1, maybe -1.5
I’m not sure how to interpret this since I don’t wear glasses. I can’t tell if your response was intended as a compliment, insult, joke, or something else entirely.
Full disclosure, I’m on the spectrum so there is likely something that is going over my head. I can only hope that your comment was given with positive intentions and was intended to evoke positive feelings in the reader.
It’s not that deep, just a reply with text from the post. There’s nothing to unpack.
Thanks for the clarification. Given the context of how this comment thread has developed, I didn’t know what to expect.
Ohh man we got a hot one coming in!
Man, this person jumped so hard to imagined victimhood so fast and now refuses to leave it.
A full day later and still burning like the downvotes aren’t necessary to keep the vitriol out of good conversation.
And you’re dying alone so what
Look, I was a bit slow understanding a joke, so were 90% here. I got it and made another joke about it, that 90% here did not get because they were busy voting the “evil guy” down and making spiteful comments about somebody seemingly not the sharpest knive in the drawer. I got the joke. Took me three minutes. You, OTOH, will be the small minded, cowardish piece of shit that you are for all your life. Your mentality attacking anonymously out of the crowd, looking for a “victim” that momentarilly has no lobby is what we see from people like the ICE. I’ve got a pretty wife I have been married to for more than two decades, she’s got more character under her toenail than you’ll have all your life. So I still might “die alone”, right, asshole. But I still prefer it to living a life like yours.
Booooooo
Yes. As intellectual a reply as I expected from people like you. But maybe I am a bit too hard, Did you get retention again, sweetie? Ate up the other kids crayons, again?
Their hand quivers, and they can feel their legs shake, “Maybe this is the time” they think to themselves, if they can find the courage that is.
Maybe it will end like a meet-cute and the future love their life will get out their car and help them out and pick them up and send them on a glorious adventure.
Or maybe it will just sever their spine and it will be over.
But! The driver will remember them and their face for the rest of their life, their death having given meaning to their existence as the driver will go on to travel the world and have the adventure of a lifetime in response to this random stranger they collided with. Knowing that even if its not personally lived but that the adventure was had by their presence…But their daydreams are snapped out by the sound of a car horn and the engine roaring past.
The moment is gone but the heart still flutters and the adrenaline pumps through their veins, less than the first time they thought about this but enough to still feel the rush of life they don’t live. “There is always the next car,” they think, “maybe, this time I will try yelling at them.”fart fart fart fart
you forgot to shit and cum
As intellectual a reply as I expected
You got the response you deserve. Boo hoo.
Hey, have fun, go away
Do you not understand the joke?
Sir, I am well known to understand each and any joke. Immediately and at any time of night or day. If this is intended to be an insult to my intellectual capabilities, I demand satisfaction.
Why is it impossible for people to show humility online? Who are you trying to impress? It’s always sarcasm and doubling down.
Why is it impossible to understand an obvious joke? Or to read two postings downward before becoming a judgemental, better-than-though asshole? Oh. I understand. You were that asshole before. HAND.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Booooo!
But you see, my good fellow, you’ve shown nary a bit of proof for this supposed intellect. How could I, an internet user of honor and integrity, accept such a duel when I know not if my actions will be akin to bullying a simpleton?
Dont’t worry. IRL I wouldn’t waste a second of my time with you. Or risk being seen in your company.
That seems like a good deal, can you promise not to be seen in public with me too?
He could have phrased it better haha
The color coding of the scores is so completely fucked.
White? Or is it the background for the time left in the quarter you meant? The scores appear to be white on blue and white on black. Not sure why they did the WNBA logo to be on orange though. The shot clock being on red makes sense to me as it is the “imminent danger”. (Probably could just do black on white for it though)
